The Story

About Wilderness Trail Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon Whiskey

Wilderness Trail Distillery combines the best of both worlds by blending age-old traditions with the modern science of crafting bourbon. Their Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled in small batches, with up to 20 barrels per batch, the result of a single fermenter, for a complex and nuanced flavor profile that captures the full essence of the distillate. Their High Rye Bourbon adheres to the rigorous standards of “Bottled in Bond,” and uses their own unique yeast strains. Unlike many bourbons that rely on a sour mash, they use a sweet mash that perfectly balances the 64% corn, 24% rye, and 12% malted barley mash bill. Entering the barrel at a low 110 entry proof and aged for four years in a #4 charred barrel yields a non-chill-filtered Bourbon, endowed with hints of oak, tobacco, and brambly red fruits, a dash of leather, and a rye-led, lingering finish.

About Wilderness Trail

Wilderness Trail Distillery is a craft operation that was launched in 2012 in Danville, Kentucky. Mixing old traditions with modern science, After over 20 years of working with distilleries worldwide to provide advice and fermenting products, founders Shane Baker and Dr. Pat Heist launched their premium craft distillery in 2012, with the core focus of making the highest quality Bourbon and Rye Whiskey.

Their production methods include an Infusion Mashing Process, which ― together with their unique yeast strains ― results in a softer and uniquely flavorful distillate. They are the first Kentucky bourbon distillery to use a chemical-free clean steam boiler that minimizes off flavors. Instead of sour mash, they rely on a sweet mash, which enables more flavors to be extracted from the grains. They employ a hybrid pot still, as well as two continuous column stills. All the whiskey is distilled, aged, and bottled on-site.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of sweet baking spices, oak, and dark fruits on the nose. Smooth and sweet taste leading to a cordial meeting of oak, tobacco, and brambly red-black fruits giving way to a hint of leather and smoke. The finish is long and rye-led with a sustaining oaky sweetness and comforting warmth
